Luum Awards presents seven novel proposals, being the first festival of its type:
Only Gold: Luum only awards Gold medals, there are no second or third place awards. That is to say that the festival only awards medals to the best of the best.
Free Registration: Entry registration is free and only winners pay award rights (only gold).
Equality: There are no jury presidents, no academic hierarchies. All the judges are top-tier and their evaluations are made at different times during the judging period.
Democratic: All participants, regardless of size, brand or nationality, are given the same amount of opportunities to upload their entries at no cost: 4.
Fairness: Luum meets gender quotas: 50% of the judges are men and 50% of the judges are women.
Diversity: The judges panel is composed primarily of talented global advertising and marketing professionals from well-known associations and communities, however, governmental and non-governmental entities may also participate.
The award ceremony will take place in Geneva, Switzerland on 4 November 2021.
